About Me

Well, I've suddenly developed a new interest in MySpace, even though it's been around three years since I even logged on this account. Currently, I'm a 20 year old college junior-to-be who's majoring in English and French (and trying for a Japanese minor!). Someday I'd like to travel the world and put all the languages I'm learning to good use, hopefully as a translator! But I've still got two more years of college and then graduate school left before I can start most of that. As far as personality goes, I'm pretty shy and kind of girly, but I'm quite open-minded and I love meeting new people.

My Interests

Oh, I love all sorts of geeky things. Like... video games, Dungeons & Dragons, Gothic Lolita fashion, poetry, Pokemon, Super Dollfies, sewing, anime, Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, French, Japanese, literature, goofing off, libraries, traveling, tea, cosplay, Final Fantasy, writing, World of Warcraft, and even more things I can't even think of right now.

I'd like to meet:

Someone with interests similar to me, and/or (at least) someone literate. I'm not too picky, but it seems like it at times. O_o I also really like nice people, so if you're one of those you can go ahead and contact me if you like!

Music:

In alphabetical order, my favorite bands/artists are... The Beatles, The Brilliant Green, Cake, Calamine, Coldplay, David Bowie, Death Cab for Cutie, FLOW, The Fray, Gackt, Gin Blossoms, Goo Goo Dolls, Gorillaz, Hanson, The Hush Sound, The Killers, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Malice Mizer, Massive Attack, Panic! At The Disco, The Postal Service, Queen, The Raconteurs, Simon & Garfunkel, Utada Hikaru, Van Halen, The Wallflowers, The Who, Wolfmother, Yaida Hitomi

Movies:

At the moment, my favorite movies are as follows, though in no particular order: Roman Holiday, Casino Royale, The Chipmunk Adventure Movie, Down With Love, The Phantom of the Opera, Labyrinth, Le Dîner de Cons, Music & Lyrics, Sleeping Beauty, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Shimotsuma Monogatari, Pride & Prejudice, Howl's Moving Castle

Television:

My sisters have gotten me totally hooked on television! I love Star Trek, CSI: Las Vegas, House, The X-Files, Law & Order: SVU, Scrubs, The Office, Naruto, and Nana

Books:

Oh, here's where I have fun. I love absolutely anything by Jane Austen, but my favorites are Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. My current favorite book of all time is Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, but I also love The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I also enjoy just about anything by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Tobias Wolff, and Marcel Proust. I also have a huge collection of poetry, which (I suppose) would fall under this category. Of all the poets in my collection, I tend to favor Andrew Marvell, Edgar Allen Poe, Ezra Pound, Howard Nemerov, George Herbert, Jacques Prévert, Edmund Spenser, and Alexander Pope.Hopefully, that's enough to give you a sense of what I like to read, because I'm sick of typing already and I've still got more sections like this to go.

Heroes:

The person who will always be my hero was my high school English teacher and mentor, Dr. Smith. Without him, I never would have learned to appreciate so many of the things that make me who I am now, and I'll always admire and respect him. If I can become even half as amazing a person as him, I'll have done very well with myself.
